“Sweet person! My 18 month Aussie was so happy to get out and play/walk with her! She even gave her a bath when she had an accident! Will definitely be rebooking with her.”
“Riley has been such a amazing help while I was recovering from an injury that prevented me from being able to take my dog on a walk. He was very careful of her limitstions of being dog reactive and made me feel comfortable that she was in good hands!”
“David is great! We couldn't survive our busy summer schedule without him and our dog, Murphy, loves spending time with him. We love getting photos of their walks and play time together. ”
About: The experience of care I have includes dogs, cats, reptiles, birds & even chickens. Animals I have owned myself and others for friends, relatives & refers. I have 3 cats with all different personalities and I know how each one needs individualized care. Same goes for the dogs I’ve taken care of. I treat every animal I encounter the same as my own; with love and respect. I will send pictures and updates on how your fur babies are for the day/walk/check in. I am going to care for your fur babies exactly how I would want mine to be cared for. If you need anything special feel free to talk to me about it, I will accommodate you as best I can. I work part time and have very flexible hours since I work from home, so I will be available often to come walk your dog or doggy/cat sit in your home. I am going to care for your fur babies exactly how I would want mine to be cared for whether it's any of the services I offer.
“Have had Isabella dog walking service for a few months now, and I am still thrilled with her service! She's super attentive for my pup and I've seen such a growth in independence and potty training since having her. Thanks a million again, Isabella!”
“Brooklyn has been walking Maggie for a week now and Maggie loves Brooklyn! Brooklyn is prompt to respond to requests and easy to communicate with. Maggie will be 14 this year and she requires accommodations and special handling. Brooklyn has demonstrated compassion and understanding with my detailed instructions. She takes care to pay attention to Maggie's energy and gait and provides updates on her activities. Brooklyn is trustworthy and I feel comfortable with giving her access to my home when I'm away. Thank you Brooklyn!”
“McKenzi was the primary walker for my sweet girl, Olivia, for over a year and she was by far the most reliable walker that I had. She is amazing at communicating well in advance when she isn’t able to walk her so I can plan accordingly. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a walker, you won’t regret picking her!!!”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was ten years old. I have experience walking, assisting in training, and entertaining super high energy dogs! I currently work online and take online classes and so I have a very flexible schedule and I can adjust to what your pup needs! I understand your pet is your fur baby! I look forward to adjusting to whatever your needs are and making sure your pet has a fun, safe time!
“KiAshe has been so wonderful with my pup. She has been reliable with showing up on time for his walks and sending me updates and pictures while at work. The pup always looks happy while he’s with her :) thank you!!”
About: I've had and cared for animals ever since I can remember. I grew up with dogs, cats, birds and even rats. I have always had a natural love for animals and truly enjoy taking care of them like they're my own. Spending time with pets doesn't feel like a job to me, It's something I genuinely look forward to. Whether it's going on walks, playing, or just giving them attention and comfort, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy and loved while you're away. I currently have open availability and a flexible schedule, so I am able to give pets lots of attention and care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs walks, check-ins, or extended stays, I can easily accommodate different routines and schedules. I am available daytime, evenings and weekends as needed. For safety and comfort, I provide care in your home rather than boarding. I live in an apartment, so I'm unable to host pets, but I'm more than happy to stay in your home and follow all care instructions closely. I respect your space, keep things clean, and make sure your pet stays in their normal routine where they feel most comfortable.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who’s been surrounded by pups for as long as I can remember. My partner and I currently have two sweet, professionally trained dogs who are super dog-friendly and love making new furry friends! We also foster dogs, so we’re used to all kinds of personalities—from the super shy to the zoomie champions. Our home is full of love (and treats), and our dogs are crate trained, respectful, and always ready to welcome a new buddy into the pack. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, a drop-in visit for some playtime and belly rubs, or just a friendly face while you're away, we’ve got you covered! We love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and learning what makes them happiest—whether that’s chasing a ball, sniffing every tree, or just lounging in the sun. We can’t wait to meet your pup and help them feel right at home (even when they’re not)! I work from home and have plenty of time to care for your pets! Including midday walks, potty breaks, and outside playtime. We're available for boarding on weekends, starting at 5pm on Fridays. Your pup’s safety and comfort are our top priorities! We have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and our two friendly, well-trained dogs love having new friends to hang out with. Need a little extra space? No problem—we’re happy to crate dogs if requested or provide separate areas in our home for pups who prefer their own quiet corner. Whether your dog is super social or enjoys a bit more independence, we’re here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved every step of the way.
About: Every day spent in the company of dogs is a perfect day. I offer private, one-dog* boarding with loving & attentive care - a great fit for dogs who enjoy walks, outdoor time, and a quiet place to settle. I care for one dog at a time (*two dogs if from the same home), allowing for lots of attention and a rhythm that best suits them. More than simply a safe place to board your dog, days here are filled with play, fresh air, outdoor exploration & exercise - just as I've always done with my own dogs. Even sensitive or anxious dogs settle in as if they’re on their own little vacation, returning home relaxed, happy, and wonderfully tired. I work part-time from home so dogs always stay within eyesight and enjoy a balance of outdoor activity and quiet downtime, with their safety as my first priority. My days are structured around the dogs in my care. Our days are a combination of outdoor time at our 30-acre park and quiet time at home. Dogs are in my company throughout the day and rarely out of eyesight. Having fostered and rescued dogs for many years, my home is very dog centric. The property sits beside a quiet 15-acre park. It’s a peaceful place with lots of birds and squirrels to watch from the patio. I’m experienced reading dog behavior and adjusting to their comfort level so whether on-leash at the park, resting, playing with me or their enrichment toys, dogs continue to stay within eyesight throughout throughout their visit.
About: I absolutely love pets! I’ve taken care of all different kinds of cats and dogs for about 15 years and have experience volunteering and fostering with both elderly and newborn pets. Most of my work includes feeding, cleaning, bathing, and occasionally medicinal or bottle feeding care (if needed). I am currently working part time, but I still have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I am available every day during the week. I don’t have a set schedule with work, but it is very flexible and can be discussed depending on your schedule. I personally have strict rules of keeping my pets inside at night due to frequent coyote sites in my area, and have no problem reigning in your pets if needed as well for whatever reason. I can absolutely bend to my clients rules in whatever means I can to ensure their pets safety.
“Brandie was great with my dog. She came over twice to become aquanted with him beforehand and then took great care of him during her visit. Her communication was too notch and my dog was very happy with her.”
About: I have two adorable cats of my own and experience caring for dogs as well. I’m eager to understand and follow your specific care instructions to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away! I am available on Monday Wednesdays and Fridays for drop ins and available most evenings 7 days of the week. I am happy to discuss about my availabilities! When boarding pets in my home, I provide a warm, safe, and comfortable environment where your pet will feel like part of the family. I follow your specific care instructions, including feeding schedules, playtime, and any special needs. Regular updates and photos keep you informed and reassured. For drop-in visits, I ensure your pet gets personalized attention, including feeding, playtime, and potty breaks. I also check on their well-being, clean up after them, and provide companionship to keep them happy while you're away. For dog walking, I tailor each walk to your dog’s energy level and preferences, ensuring they get the exercise, stimulation, and care they need. I prioritize safety and stick to your preferred routes or routines, making every walk enjoyable for your furry friend!
“Can't recommend Bill enough. He's been the best care taker for my dog when I'm not around and I feel at ease knowing he's in good hands with Bill. Always love reading the personalized notes after each walk. Thanks for your help always!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Fair Oaks on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Fair Oaks. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Fair Oaks.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fair Oaks. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
